I'm sure your not alone in finding these scenarios concerning. In fact I think that asking users to accept this relationship may represent a bigger challenge than the technological barriers. I would imagine the aim will be to ensure that ads are so relevent that there no longer thought of as 'ads' and instead they become useful information; you can see this is the aim currently with ads in Gmail.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556909560940097864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-60050403150170094552007-11-20T07:52:00.000-08:002007-11-20T07:52:00.000-08:00@ Anonymous: You must keep in mind that Android is...@ Anonymous: You must keep in mind that Android is free - and the "price" are these ads.
